Enclosure Specifications
The IS4800 scan engine series was specifically designed for integration into
custom housings for OEM applications. The scan engine’s performance will be
adversely affected or permanently damaged when mounted in an unsuitable
enclosure.
THIS DEVICE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH 21 CFR 1040.
USE ONLY AS COMPONENT.
The limited warranty (on page 23) is void if the following
considerations are not adhered to when integrating the
IS4800 series scan engine into a system.
Grounding
If the scan engine is going to be installed in a grounded host:
• Use an insulator between the engine chassis and host. The die-cast
engine chassis is at +Vcc.
•
Use shoulder washers to isolate the screws from the host if the mounting
screws are metallic.
Magnetic Sensitivity
The scan engine can be negatively affected by magnetic fields:
• Use only non-magnetic screws and locating pins.
•
Do not mount the engine within 1.00" of any magnetic materials.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Cautions
The scan engine has exposed electrical components.
•
DO NOT touch the leads of the V isible L aser D iode (VLD) or other
components.
•
ALWAYS use grounding wrist straps and a grounded work area when
handling the engine.
•
Mount the engine in a housing that is designed for ESD protection and
stray electric fields.
ESD has the ability to modify the electrical characteristics of a
semiconductor device, possibly degrading or even destroying the
device. ESD also has the potential to upset the normal operation
of an electronic system, causing equipment malfunction or failure.
